  Research Notes:

Her origin, as mother of "domno abbate Stephano", is deduced from the Chronicle of Saint-Bénigne de Dijon which names Etienne's parents as "patre Joffredo…consul [qui] a patre et avo consulibus originem duxit" and "matre…Arnulfi…consulis de Risnel filia, matrem habens…consulis Gerardi de Fonvenz filiam". Pibon Bishop of Toul recalls donations made to Saint-Mansuy, among others those by "Arnoul chanoine de Verdun et Blanche dame de Joinville", with the consent of their heirs "Etienne clerc, le comte Renard et Roger son jeune frère", by charter dated 29 May 1103, which suggests that Blanche survived her son Geoffroy [II] Seigneur de Joinville (Renard and Roger, maybe also Etienne, being his sons). ²
